About this property

Across From The White Sand Of Moonlight Beach - Full Ocean/Beach View

  • Perfect for family reunions and get togethers! There are 3 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms which could be used by parents/grandparents and then 2 more queen bedrooms and a bunk room which all share 2 bathrooms. The floorpan is very family friendly and nice and open. Enjoy one of the nicest beaches in southern California just steps from the front doors, relax on the balcony and soak up a dramatic sunset all the while enjoying a rare private yard. This home has a large private garden in front which is unheard of so close to the beach. You truly get the best of both worlds being across from the beach, yet have rare privacy of beach homes.

    This home was completely refinished in 2015. All the surfaces are new. The mattresses are all top of the line memory foam, encased and then fitted with luxurious linens. The home is professionally decorated with a clean, sleek beach theme.

    Listen to the waves crash as the ocean lulls you to sleep at night. Watch your children play volleyball on the sand courts right from the comfort of your balcony or enjoy a family dinner in a private yard setting. This is one of the closest homes to Moonlight Beach and you can walk to the beach in a few seconds and enjoy white water views from every room upstairs and on the balcony.

    Downtown Encinitas is just a short walk away with trendy shops, award winning restaurants and a small beach atmosphere with the perfect amount of night life. Hop on the Coaster train and head down to San Diego or up to Santa Barbara. There is really no need for a car, but the home has parking for 3-4 vehicles.

    Moonlight Beach is a great locals beach with a typical southern California beach feel. There is a boardwalk, fire pits, beach snack bar, nice public restrooms, beach rentals and a newly constructed children's play park. It truly has something for everyone!

Best location for kids in Encinitas

From the views, location, and comfort of the home, this place was exceptional. We had a big family with kids of all ages and it was very comfortable for everyone. There were 2 pack n plays, a high chair, and kids tableware, which made it really convenient. There is also an awesome children’s park, volleyball courts, really delicious snack bar, and beach access just steps away. We coul

Wonderful stay!

We stayed 4 nights for my daughter's wedding which was very close to this house. There was plenty of room for 10 adults and the view of moonlight beach was fantastic from the living room. There is a lovely garden area as well with plenty of parking for 3 cars. The property manager was so easy to communicate with and we appreciated her prompt responses and assistance! Would definitely stay here again. Thanks for letting us stay in your lovely home!

Great location!

Amazing location and a ton of space for a big extended family. House was in mediocre condition, used pretty hard. Seemed not super clean and didn’t have some of the things you would hope for in a more expensive rental home, like full shampoos in the showers, batteries in the remotes, etc. But again, can’t beat the location and lots of sleeping areas. Overall great week!

Perfect Location, Close Beach, & Plenty of parking

Glad to have found this property for our family vacation. Overall it was a success! Pros: Close Beach, close to children's playground, lots of beach toys, wagon, chairs etc. Propane BBQ, Parked 3 cars 1 truck easily, plenty of room for 10 adults & 3 kids, close to restaurants and shopping, easy on/off freeway, 5 bathrooms, stocked kitchen utensils etc, beautiful view of beach, attached bungalow is great get away for a couple, great fenced in grass yard for little ones to play on, A/C, nice staff, right by a cool little painted rock garden, easy check in/out. Upstairs nice clean updated feeling to it. Cons: Property to the north has bad water leak that saturates the driveway and is very slippery. They do have mats placed down to help from slipping. Entire house slopes south, internet is very very weak, bad cell reception too. House was a little dirty upon arrival (sand on floors, understandable). Downstairs has musty smell. Furnace downstairs is always running to move air round house, very loud for those sleeping downstairs. Even with A/C and fan upstairs bedroom facing beach gets very warm in the afternoon. Overall, a great place and great stay. We had a great time! Still giving 5 stars.

Liked the location - closeness to the beach and town - but could use a major upgrade to the many torn/damaged beach chairs and wagons in rough shape (one set of front wheels not attached). Cleanliness not up to standard for this location/price range - floors very dirty (not just from sand) - in need of a major scrubbing - probably need a strong power wash on the upper balcony! Other simple fixes - like a bin for storing beach toys vs just a big pile of them, fix closets/bath drain in lower level, etc - would also go a long ways towards enhanced appearances. Layout of the house is great, beds were good, host was extremely responsive (pack n plays delivered as requested) - this can be a 5 star place - just needs some TLC.

house showed some wear and tear issues and minor damage but everything functioned. Not enough reading lights in the bedrooms. it was clean and had sufficient towels. The 5th bathroom was essentially the laundry room and uncomfortably small. It would be a great house for families with small kids and worked well for us 10 adults. location was the best! Host responded quickly to our request for a room heater.

Wonderful stay start to finish! Fabulous views, plenty of space, short walk to the sand, well stocked with towels and toys!Host Rebecca was responsive to messages and allowed both late check-in and check out since there were no stays immediately before and after. We stayed in October and the days were sunny and warm and the nights cool. There was lots of room for everyone to gather and cook in the great open kitchen! (Could have used extra bar stools since we often gathered there.) Beds were comfy and linens were abundant, with extra towels for the beach. Floors at the beach often don’t quite feel clean, but the rest of the house was spotless. We notified Rebecca about a couple of small maintenance issues and she was happy to hear and planned to have them addressed. We would definitely stay at this house again!

Great home, great location

Perfect home for an extended family vacation, from people aged 2-80. Ocean views, beautiful beach feet away, terrific playground, and town 2 blocks away. Most of us stayed local, but also an easy drive to San Diego. The host was very responsive, the home is new, warm and very comfortable. Definitely recommend.
